Wheeler Gets Much Needed Double
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Linyang Song was on the button when he flatted Tian Liu's raise to 120,000. This action prompted Stephen Wheeler to rip in his stack of 760,000. Liu decided that his hand wasn't strong enough to make the call, as he folded, but Song was having a harder time coming to a decision. Eventually, he put in the 11 big blinds needed to make the call.
Stephen Wheeler: 7♥7♦ 
Linyang Song: 10♥8♥
The A♣2♠3♠4♣J♦ board came clean for Wheeler, and he celebrated as he was alive and kicking again in the shootout.
